New Product Announcement

Fast Response Pipe Clamp Temperature Probe

Featuring an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, this sensor has a tolerance of ±1°C over the range 25°C to 85°C.A metal clip is attached to the over-molded copper probe housing allowing the sensor to be easily installed or detached from the pipe. This two-wire probe easily interfaces to widely-available instrumentation and can be customized to optimize thermal response.

New Product Announcement

Unique Seat Pad Accelerometer Measures Human Body Response

The Model 606M1 triaxial seat pad accelerometer measures both static and dynamic responses. This ergonomically shaped thin profile is well suited for characterizing whole human body vibration in accordance with ISO 2631-1 and ISO 8041. The DC response of the silicon MEMS sensors is the key to yielding accurate velocity and displacement results from the raw acceleration data.

Featured Application

Telescope Relies on GC Series Heavy-Duty Gage Head

MEAS GC-485 Gage Head with RS-485 I/O accurately closes the loop in a new system that controls the movements of the segments which focus the antenna of the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT). Located in Chalchicomula de Sesma, Mexico, the LMT is the world's largest and most sensitive single-aperture telescope for radio waves in the 0.85 to 4mm wavelength range. Other versions of this sensor are the GCA, the high temperature version (AC LVDT), and GCD (DC), GCD-SE (DC single-ended), and GCT (4-20mA), which have built-in signal conditioning and are CE certified.

Featured Application

Intra Uterine Pressure Sensing and Child Birth

The 1630 disposable pressure sensor is being used by a medical OEM for intra uterine pressure sensing. Its long and narrow footprint makes it easy for insertion into the uterus to measure the contraction frequency/amplitudes prior to child birth. This sensor is gel coated to prevent direct contact with amniotic fluids and meets AAMI requirements to ensure compatibility with existing monitors. The medical OEM completed the application with their own tubing and connector.
